6 Feb 2023video Is Engineer Muhammad Ali Mirza consistent in how he criticises hadith? Not fully, says Mufti Abu Layth: Engineer Mirza's rational critique of others' hadith stops short of scrutinising how sahih hadith were authenticated. Mufti still calls him a legend and a much-needed voice.

11 Jan 2017Mothers of the Believers: The Wives of the Blessed Prophet ﷺ Is judging hadith by their content a modern invention of jurists rather than hadith scholars? Judging a report by its content is not modern; it goes back to Ibn Abbas and Imam Malik, who left authentic reports they did not hold to be the sunnah. Hadith absolutism displaced it only at times.
